Chapter 1616: Jindan Joins the Battle
The city defense formation was always open. The monsters outside the city tried to attack several times, but found that it was difficult to break the city defense formation in a short time with their ability. Instead, they might be attacked and killed by the monks on the city head mountain. So they gave up, but the monsters did not withdraw completely.
There were also smart monsters among the monsters. They knew that the city defense formation of human monks required a lot of resources. As long as they did not withdraw, the city defense formation would be open all the time. The two sides were deadlocked until the second half of the night. The monsters gradually withdrew and the human monks had a chance to breathe.
On the second day, the monks of Jinjiling Town were sent to the city wall again. In addition to those who were seriously injured and replaced, a group of monks from other towns who had just arrived last night were added. As for the city defense formation on the city wall, it had been withdrawn at this time. It seemed that another fierce battle would come soon.
Many people were very nervous about the upcoming fierce battle, but after yesterday's battle, many cultivators were mentally prepared, and the town mayor, who was in the late stage of foundation building, also came to the city wall. Everyone had a backbone, and the city lord, who was in the golden elixir stage, was watching from a distance and could come to support at any time, so everyone felt more relieved.
The war was about to come, and the city wall was the quietest at this time. Everyone was actively preparing, but no one spoke, not only because they were nervous about the upcoming battle, but also because after this battle, they didn't know how many people would die on the city wall.
Just like yesterday, there was a thunderous sound at first, and the city wall under their feet began to shake, and then a large number of monsters ran towards this side. The earth-shaking momentum, even if they had experienced it yesterday, most cultivators were still nervous and sweaty in their palms.
In the battle yesterday, the monks on the city wall killed at least thousands of monsters, but as the monsters approached, everyone could see that the number of monsters not only did not decrease, but was even more than yesterday. It seemed that not only the monks were looking for support, but the monsters also had new forces joining them. With such a consumption, it was hard to say whether they could win in the end.
But that was all for the future. Seeing that the monsters were approaching, all the Qi-refining monks were ready. When the monsters entered the attack range, they immediately launched an attack. The monsters were not to be outdone, and they rushed up the city wall with all their strength and started a melee with the monks on the wall.
On the city wall, the two sides fought and roared, monsters kept wailing and falling down the city, and monks kept screaming and falling to the ground. There were casualties every moment, but the high-level monks behind just watched quietly and had no intention of taking action. In fact, not only the monks, but also the monsters were the same. The two sides seemed to maintain a tacit understanding, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, low-level monks only attack low-level monsters, and high-level monks only have high-level monsters as opponents.
This time, both sides were fully prepared and relatively calm. The fight lasted for nearly half an hour. The number of low-level monsters continued to increase, and the monks also reinforced several batches of people. The specific number of monks killed and injured is no longer counted. It is only known that Funius City has invested at least 15,000 Qi Refining monks, but at this time, there are less than 8,000 people still standing on the city wall. In other words, nearly half of the casualties in today's battle are much more tragic than yesterday's battle.
Of the more than 300 cultivators in Jinjiling Town, less than 200 can still move. Even if the seriously injured are included, there are less than 300 people. After two battles, the death rate reached more than 50%.
Even with Qingyang's care, one of the three people from the Tian family was seriously injured, and the other two were slightly injured, but it was much better than the others. At least all three of them saved their lives.
The situation on the monster side was similar, with more than 10,000 casualties, but the number of monsters was much greater than that of cultivators. This casualty had little impact on them, and the low-level monsters were stimulated by the bloody smell on the top of the city, and became more ferocious, with a tendency to become more courageous. Seeing that the Qi Refining cultivators could no longer hold on, the Foundation Building cultivators who were supervising the battle had to join the battle. Then the Qi Refining cultivators and the low-level monsters retreated, and the Foundation Building cultivators and the fourth, fifth and sixth-level monsters started a melee on the top of the city.
The battle between the foundation-building monks was even more intense, almost from the bottom of the city to the top of the city, from the ground to the sky. The foundation-building monks who were strong enough could control the treasures to fly into the sky and attack from above, and the fourth, fifth and sixth-level monsters, even if they could not fly, could also use various means to attack the monks in the air, so no one could gain much advantage in the battle between the two sides.
This battle lasted for another half an hour, and the foundation-building monks and monsters were half killed and wounded, but neither side retreated. The monks knew that the city they needed to protect was behind them, and there was no way to retreat, while the monsters were cruel by nature. The blood on the ground and the tragic battle stimulated their ferocity. They would never retreat first unless they were completely frightened.
Perhaps the attacks for several consecutive days did not achieve the expected results. Seeing that today was another evenly matched battle, the high-level monsters behind finally couldn't help it. After a series of roars, the other monsters retreated, and several Jindan-level monsters jumped onto the city wall.
The Jindan monks in Funius City had long been prepared for this move. Seeing that the Jindan-level monsters had already made their move, they did not dare to neglect it and each of them used their magic weapons to fight back. The monsters had sharp attacks and strong defenses, and each had its own special talents. Especially after reaching the Jindan level, they had passed the spiritual wisdom tribulation and their spiritual wisdom was not much different from that of the monks. They were very difficult to deal with, so even if the number of Jindan monks was more than that of the monsters, the two sides could only barely fight to a draw.
The battle between the Jindan monks was deafening. Affected by the huge energy, the city wall, which had not had any problems in the past few days, could no longer hold on and was blown down in several sections. In this level of battle, not to mention the Qi-refining monks, even the foundation-building monks could not intervene, so they retreated one after another.
In the past few days, when the monsters attacked the city, almost all the monks were the first to give up and could only open the city defense formation to block the monsters. The battles were extremely cowardly. The Jindan monks in Funiushe also knew that if they continued like this, it would affect their morale. So they went all out in this battle today and made full preparations in advance. They would win back a game no matter what.
The monsters seemed a little impatient and launched an attack without being prepared in advance. Under the desperate attacks of the Jindan monks in Funiushe, they gradually couldn't hold on. Seeing that the monks were fighting more and more bravely, while their side was retreating step by step, and more and more people were injured, the leading monster let out a long roar and led the team to retreat in an orderly manner.
